Two men have been charged with racing after being stopped in downtown Owen Sound.

At approximately 11:40 p.m. on Friday, a member of the Owen Sound Police Service was conducting a vehicle stop in the 200 block of 10th St. E. when he observed two eastbound vehicles racing on 10th street while approaching his position, it said in a news release from police.

Both vehicles were stopped by the officer and both drivers have been charged with stunt driving-racing.

A 49-year-old Owen Sound man and an 18-year-old Meaford man will appear in court in September to answer to the charge, the news release said.

Both drivers had their drivers licences suspended for seven days and their vehicles impounded for seven days, the news release said.
